The regions within Africa and the Middle East are some of the less traveled areas in the cruising world, but are becoming more popular every year. This is because these areas are rich with history and culture.
Egypt is one of the most popular vacation destinations in Africa. Famous attractions in this area include the pyramids and Sphinx in Cairo, in addition to the historic city where many schools of thought originated, Alexandria.
Another popular destination in the Middle East is Israel, as it is the home of many major religions (Christianity, Islam and Judaism) and is the location of sacred places including the Dome of the Rock, the Church of Nativity, and the Western Wall.
Other popular destinations in this region include Cape Town, probably the most popular tourist destination in South Africa. Morocco, located in the northwest of Africa, is rich with culture, cuisine and beaches. Dubai, part of the United Arab Emirates, is an exclusive ultra-modern city that has become quite a desirable vacation destination.
